You covered every single base of this story especially well. The comprehensive comparative look at media shenanigans by Dems is especially striking. Sad to say that the Dem "mainstream" media has their priorities so out of whack. They've been trying to nail Bush since day one. But Bush stealing Florida in 2000 didn't fly. The August 6th Presidential Daily Briefing didn't cut it. Say the same for the Downing Street Memos, Gitmo, Abu Ghraib or Katrina. The lamestream types do look like increasingly irrelevant fools. Thank GOD we have so many better ways to get news these days.

It's up on Radioblogger. What I am hoping for is an audio up on Radioblogger of his interview of Helen Thomas. It is the most hilarious interchange I've heard in a while! It really cements the closed box that MSM journalists see through, as the dinosaur media that they are. She is so out of touch with the times.

Years ago, they just had to come up with enough news to fill their nightly timeslots. They could cover what they considered the most newsworthy events and anything else would fall by the wayside or be in the print media. Now they have to struggle to find something to cover and fill 24 hours a day. On a slow news day, even something trivial will lead if there's nothing better. And, as we've all seen from the likes of Jason Blair, if there isn't any interesting news, they'll just invent some. The media news has become a sad joke. They're nothing but a bunch of morons exhibiting Pavlovian responses to anything that resembles news just so they can beat competing networks to the punch. It's really pathetic.

I hope that some of the questions you've posed here about Hillary Clinton and her continued hypocrisy are being posed by some of the members of the press. However, i do think that as VP Cheney should just speak for himself on this matter and show the public that he's concerned. I'm glad he decided to do an interview and I'll be sure to watch.
